Aston Villa 0-1 Chelsea - FA Cup Final 2000
20 May 2000 | FA Cup | Final
Neither side has won anything this season or exactly set the league alight so the game could go either way. It may be worth a flutter.
Chelsea had hoped for so much more from their season. Reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League was no mean achievement but from the start Vialli's side frittered away too many Premiership points to produce a serious challenge for the title.
Villa, on the other hand, spoiled a promising start - they lay second for most of August - by going nine league games without a win between September 18 and December 18, a decline which prompted considerable speculation about Gregory's future as manager, given his chairman Doug Ellis's trigger-happy habits.
